Top 5 Business Tips

- Slack schedules and lax time-keeping are not valued German traits, but advance appointments and punctuality certainly are.

- Expect your German colleagues to be direct and to-the-point. “Beating-around-the-bush”-style communication is not appreciated. Expect to proceed directly to business, with minimal small talk.

- Business meetings are intensely formal and follow a rigid agenda. Senior level personnel often enter first, and seating is assigned. Appeal to the German sense of detail by using solid facts, backed up with evidence.

- There is a separation between professional and personal spheres, and it is important to respect your German colleagues’ privacy by avoiding personal questions or discussing private matters.

- Observe the formality of German business culture. Always address individuals formally using “Herr” for men or “Frau” for women, followed by a professional title, if used, and finally their last name. Shake hands firmly with every individual upon meeting, and again when leaving.
